About the piece

Created in 1862, this watercolor by Friedrich Carl von Scheidlin captures the atmospheric stillness of a lake framed by a towering rock formation. The piece uses soft, layered washes of blue and gray to depict a moody, overcast sky that contrasts beautifully with the sun-dappled textures of the stone and the clear water below.
